SuburbanThai

SuburbanThai’s special fried rice arrives piled high with generous portions of prawns and crispy pork, coated in a rich, deeply savoury oyster sauce. Reviewers describe a noticeable aroma of fresh garlic and a satisfying spice level that builds with each bite, complemented by the addition of hot rock salt calamari. Unlike other Canberra restaurants, the fried rice offers a remarkably textural experience, combining a fluffy base with perfectly cooked seafood and a comforting, deeply satisfying flavour profile.
